Regarding Q52, the answer of Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله):
“And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allāh , so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.” [7:180]
“Say (O Muhammad ): ‘Invoke Allāh or invoke the Most Beneficent (Allāh), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names. And offer your Salat (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between.”[17:110]
“Allāh! Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names.” [20:8]
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said “Indeed Allāh has ninety nine names, whosoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.” [Bukhari and Muslim]
He also said:
“…I ask you Allāh through every Name which belongs to You which you named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book (Qur’ān), or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have kept with Yourself in the knowledge of the Ghaib (unseen) with You, that You make the Qur’ān the spring (or life) of my heart…” [Narrated by Imam Ahmed from ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd 1/391]
